  sealed under glass stopper
  These quality stoppers, known as Vino-Lok, eliminate cork taint but look classier than a screwcap. Alcoa, a German company, came up with the idea in the early 2000s.
  this appears to be a one off release under the St Clare banner 50th Anniversary Shiraz 2009
  
  Colour inky black impenetrable slight bricking on the rim 15/15
  Nose intense secondaries tending to dominant , some plum aromas but generally fruit fading , cigar box cedar , chocolate ,vanilla oak spice and anise, as well as savoury, earthy aromas, including leather, tobacco . definitely better on day 2 26/30
  Palate full bodied intense flavours , I was confused on day 1 but this is much better on day 2 , more balanced , more complete the air is letting some fruit flavours come forward 40/44
  overall , The wine is opening out and i believe it needs more time , it's 15yo now probably got another 5 years ahead of it 9/11
  so 90 points now , will see how it goes over the next day or so , it would be interesting to put this up against the 2009 Armagh
